He asked for evidence this time, not proof. You can't prove either to be clearly better than the other, but you can give evidence that they are comparable in terms of performance. The point was to show that Vincent's statement about first taking a 50% speed hit before adding the 33% speed increase is not valid. There is no 50% speed decrease when compared with non-bitboard engines. There is only the 33% increase.
